That is the premise of the Book of Enoch, a text AND cherished by the Essenes, early Jews and Christians but THE ORIGINSof EVIL later condemned by both rabbis and Church Fathers. The book was denounced, banned and “lost” for over ORIGINS a thousand years — until in 1773 a Scottish explorer discovered three copies in Ethiopia. Elizabeth Clare Prophet examines the controversy surrounding this book and sheds new light on Enoch’s A forbidden mysteries. She demonstrates that Jesus and the apostles studied the Book of Enoch and tells why ngels Church Fathers suppressed its teaching that angels could incarnate in human bodies. o f Fallen Angels and the Origins of Evil takes you back to the primordial drama of Good and Evil, when the first EVIL hint of corruption entered a pristine world — earth.

This time she examines the Book of Enoch, a text attributed to the great-grandfather of Noah—a man who Genesis says “walked with God” and “was not, for God took him.” The Book of Enoch reveals that God allowed Enoch to return to earth to give his children certain secrets. But the book was left out of the Bible. Why? Was it to conceal Enoch’s warning about the Watchers, fallen angels who took on human bodies and, because of their crimes against mankind, were doomed to remain on earth “as long as the world endures”? If the fallen angels incarnated once, why not again—and again? Elizabeth Clare Prophet sets forth her bold thesis that the fallen angels Enoch warned about have reincarnated today. And that they are still wreaking havoc—starting wars, polluting the environment, manipulating economies, and spoiling the dreams of God and man. 01Front_Matter_i_1.qxd:FallenAngelsBook 5/23/07 12:58 PM Page ii ARCHANGEL GABRIEL, MESSENGER OF GOD 01Front_Matter_i_1.qxd:FallenAngelsBook 5/23/07 12:58 PM Page iii ELIZABETH CLARE PROPHET Gardiner, Montana 01Front_Matter_i_1.qxd:FallenAngelsBook 5/23/07 12:58 PM Page iv FALLEN ANGELS AND THE ORIGINS OF EVIL Why Church Fathers Suppressed the Book of Enoch and Its Startling Revelations by Elizabeth Clare Prophet Copyright © 2000 Summit Publications, Inc.

Take these books of your father’s hand- writing and read them. For the books are many, and in them you will learn all the Lord’s works, all that has been from the beginning of creation, and will be till the end of time.... Distribute the books to your children, into all your generations, and amongst the nations who shall have the sense to fear God, let them receive them, and may they come to love them more than any food or earthly sweets, and read them and apply themselves to them. And those who understand not the Lord, who fear not God, who accept not, but reject, who do not receive them, a terrible judgement awaits these.

But it was not always so. Back in the fourth century, for instance, when the warring Visi- goths stormed the Roman Empire, when civil disorder and social corruption reached an all-time high, when a regulated economy triggered double-digit inflation— people were thinking about angels. And it was more than quaint musings about how many angels could fit on the head of a pin. No, they were asking questions that had serious and far-reaching ramifications. The hottest debate revolved around a single crucial issue: Were angels ever transformed into flesh-and-blood beings in order to perform earthly deeds? Though most of the debate seems to have escaped history’s chronicling pen, we can, and should, reconstruct a few of its ques- tions—for reasons that will soon become clear. If angels ever did become fleshly beings that looked 02Forbidden_2_99.qxd:FallenAngelsBook 5/23/07 1:30 PM Page 4 4 Fallen Angels and the Origins of Evil like ordinary men, what would they be like? How would you pick one out from among your neighbors? Would he be extra good, a sweet cherub of a person? Or extra evil, one of those fiendish fallen angels? Regarding the latter, what began as a casual curi- os ity of the cloth has taken on the cloak of a Sherlock Holmes detective story, a probe into ancient cosmolog- ical history through fragmentary documents that piece together the missing links of much more than a mere theological dissertation on the nature and origin of evil. I believe that my investigations, though by no means complete, uncover in the Book of Enoch, the texts of Origen, and related Scripture and apocrypha (not excluding mythological texts and ancient artifacts) the key to certain historical facts concerning the evo- lution of men and angels on this and other systems of worlds. I believe that these facts have been concealed from the children of the Light for thousands of years by deliberate design and that, once exposed and acted upon by dedicated hearts, they will be the essential in- gredient in the turning of worlds toward a new age of peace and enlightenment. Although the scope of this introduction does not permit the full presentation of the facts at hand, it does afford me the opportunity to begin to unravel the for- bidden mysteries of Enoch concerning the true nature of the fallen angels known as the Watchers.
